According to §940.32, how is a stalker defined?

The definition of a stalker according to §940.32 specifically emphasizes that it involves an individual engaging in a "course of conduct" directed at a particular person. This means that the actions must be part of a continual pattern rather than just isolated incidents, and the behavior should be aimed specifically at the victim. This definition captures the essence of stalking, recognizing it as a repeated behavior that can create fear or emotional distress in the targeted individual.

Although other options mention instances of following or harassing someone, or communicating threats, they do not encompass the broader context of what constitutes stalking as outlined in the statute. Stalking is not limited to just following or online harassment; it includes a series of actions taken with the intent to intimidate or cause emotional distress.
